A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "This disciple wishes to follow Master."

Luo Cheng raised his hand and tapped his head, saying helplessly, "I don't need a third wheel."

"What's a light bulb?" Xiao Feng asked blankly. He was born on the planet Illusion Tree and had never seen such a thing before.

Luo Cheng explained bluntly, "I'm going to travel around with your master, are you planning to come along?"

Those words were clear enough, and Xiao Feng immediately blushed, saying awkwardly, "It was my fault!"

"Alright, here are three choices: stay on Illusion Tree Star and go to the Origin Realm to cultivate, or go to Sealed Fate Star."

"Immortal, what kind of place is the Primordial Realm?"

"A vast world just like the Immortal Realm, I am the Lord of the Original Realm."

"This disciple chooses the Origin Realm!" Xiao Feng replied without hesitation. Ordinary cultivators must cultivate diligently to the Tribulation Transcending stage and then overcome the Heavenly Tribulation before they can ascend to the Immortal Realm. He, on the other hand, can directly enter the Origin Realm of the same level. This is an immense opportunity.

Luo Cheng nodded: "Then I'll send you to the new star in the Origin Realm to cultivate."

"Thank you, Immortal Luo!"

Luo Cheng added, "I am the Lord of the Original Realm, and soon I will establish a Heavenly Court there. I hope you will cultivate diligently and enter the Heavenly Court in the future to help me manage the Original Realm."

"Ah?" Xiao Feng's eyes widened in surprise. The Illusion Tree Star also had ancient legends of the Heavenly Court; he naturally knew what kind of existence it was. He took a deep breath and solemnly said, "This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to Immortal Luo's expectations!"

Luo Cheng brought him back to Lin Chen's side. Lin Chen saw that Xiao Feng had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and smiled, "Disciple, you've become so handsome after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xiao Feng was a little embarrassed by the praise, his cheeks flushed slightly: "It's all thanks to Immortal Luo's help."

"I've already discussed it with Xiao Feng; we'll send him to the Origin Realm to cultivate," Luo Cheng said.

"It's good that you've decided," Lin Chen replied.

"Shall we go to the Original Realm?"

"Walk."

Luo Cheng used the power of the origin to bring the two of them to the sky above the Nova of the Origin Realm.

Xiao Feng looked down and was completely stunned—this planet was very peculiar. There were scenes of immortals cultivating by flying swords, and strange iron birds (airplanes) roaring through the air, which filled him with doubts.

The inhabitants of Nova are immigrants from Blue Star. Among the immigrants are a large number of scientific research talents. Combined with the advanced technologies transferred from Luo City (mobile phones, cars, etc.) and the abilities of cultivators, Nova has developed into a new world that combines technology and cultivation in just a few decades.

"Master, those iron birds have no spiritual energy, how can they fly?" Xiao Feng pointed at the planes flying overhead, his face full of confusion.

"It's all thanks to technology," Lin Chen explained simply. "It's complicated, but you'll understand as time goes on." She didn't want to waste any more time on this. "I'll get you an ID card first, and you'll start your training at New Star."

"Alright," Xiao Feng agreed, then asked, "Will this disciple be able to return to the cultivation world in the future?"

"If you want to go back, just send me a message, and I'll take you back." Lin Chen naturally understood that he still had unfinished worldly ties on Illusion Tree Star, and once he had achieved success in his cultivation, he would have to go back to visit.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Lin Chen quickly obtained identification for him, bought him a house, and left him enough cultivation supplies: "Disciple, cultivate diligently."

"Yes!" Xiao Feng's eyes were firm.

Lin Chenfei returned to Luo Cheng's side: "Brother Cheng, where to next?"

"Let's go check out the Holy Star."

Saint Star is a planet transformed by Li Qiang. Back then, he transferred most of the cultivators and mortals from Fengyuan Star to Saint Star. After decades of development, Saint Star has become a sacred place for cultivation in the original world.

As soon as Luo Cheng arrived at the Holy Star, he sensed several familiar auras. Almost simultaneously, several figures flew over from the void; they were Li Qiang, Qian Shanyong, and Dai Nanfeng.

"Senior brother, Lao Gan, Fairy Dai Nan, you're all here," Luo Cheng said with a smile.

"After arriving in the Origin Realm, I've been cultivating in seclusion on the Holy Star," Li Qiang said. "Where have you been lately, Senior Brother?"

"I went to the Illusion Tree Star."

"Speaking of Illusion Tree Star," Li Qiang slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot, Mei'er has always wanted to go there. In a couple of days, I'll take Mei'er to Illusion Tree Star to play."

"What is Mei'er's current cultivation level?" Luo Cheng asked.

"The last time I saw her, she was already a half-step ghost immortal."

"Pretty fast," Luo Cheng nodded.

Luo Cheng still remembered something: there was a passage between the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm, and in the future, after Li Qiang ascended to the God Realm, the Demon Realm would invade the Spirit Realm.

Before Luo Cheng prepared to ascend, he placed some hidden agents in the Spirit Realm to protect Mei'er.

After chatting for a while, Luo Cheng sensed the spiritual energy of the Holy Star and said, "This place is enough for ordinary cultivators to cultivate, but it's still a bit lacking for you few to improve your cultivation levels."

Qian Shanyong's eyes lit up: "Master Luo Cheng has an idea?"

"I plan to look for Baoxing again to see if I can get a piece of ancient cultivation divine stone."

"That's wonderful!" Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng were both overjoyed. The Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone would also be of great benefit to the Luo Tian Immortals; with it, they might be able to touch the threshold of becoming gods.

"Junior brother, shall we go together?" Luo Cheng looked at Li Qiang.

"good!"

Luo Cheng shared half of his origin with Li Qiang—in the original realm, he was the realm lord, and Li Qiang was the deputy realm lord. Using the power of their origins, the two instantly arrived at the edge of the Gentle Breeze Belt.

"Should we split up and search separately?" Luo Cheng asked.

"OK."

Luo Cheng darted into the Floodwind Belt, protecting himself with his primordial power, making it much easier than last time. However, after searching for two days, he couldn't even sense Bao Xing's aura, let alone find it. He couldn't help but feel frustrated: "This Bao Xing is a bit hard to find."

Upon returning to the original realm, they ran into Li Qiang, who beamed with joy: "Senior Brother, I've found Treasure Star!"

Luo Cheng sighed helplessly, "You're still the luckiest one."

"Let's go take a look!"

Led by Li Qiang, who enveloped them with his primal power, they arrived at Treasure Star in the blink of an eye. Dai Nanfeng gazed at the planet, now teeming with wondrous treasures, utterly astonished: "This is the legendary Treasure Star?"

"Truly living up to its reputation." Qian Shanyong couldn't help but sigh. The two of them had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and this was the first time they had ever seen a precious star, which showed how rare it was to encounter one.

"Senior brothers, you guys collect the treasures first, I'll go call Mei'er," Li Qiang said.

"Go."

Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng first explored the surroundings and discovered that not only were there rare spiritual materials in the cultivation world, but also treasures that were rare even in the immortal realm.

Luo Cheng didn't start collecting them; his main target was the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone. He pondered to himself, "I wonder how many Ancient Cultivation Divine Stones this treasure star has?" Generally speaking, a treasure star only has one Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone, but some treasure stars have two or three.

He released his primal power, carefully scanning the entire planet. The primal power had extremely strong penetrating power; in just a short while, Luo Cheng sensed the aura of the ancient cultivation stone: "Found it!"

But he didn't rush to take action—the Ancient Cultivation Divine Stone was the core of the treasure planet, and if it were taken away, the entire planet would collapse. He had to wait until everyone had collected the treasures before making a move.

After a while, Mei'er arrived excitedly; this was her second visit to Treasure Star. Seeing the treasures scattered everywhere, her eyes lit up: "Wow, so many wonderful things!"

"Spirit Generals, Spirit Commanders, lead the brothers and hurry up and collect!" she ordered the spirits behind her. The spirit realm was resource-poor; how could they miss such an opportunity? The spirits immediately scattered and frantically collected the treasures.

Mei'er floated for a while and bumped into Qian Shanyong. She was startled and exclaimed, "Oh my, there's an immortal!" She turned around and ran away.

Qian Shanyong laughed and said, "Mei'er, don't you recognize me?"

"You are..." Mei'er looked closely and recognized him. "Is it Lord Qian?" She had seen him before when she went to Fengyuan Star.

"Long time no see." Dai Nanfeng also walked over and greeted him with a smile.

"Sister Dai Nan!" Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that these two were Li Qiang's friends.

Luo Cheng heard the commotion and came over: "Mei'er, you haven't forgotten about me again, have you?"

"How could that be!" Mei'er smiled and looked at Lin Chen. Her eyes lit up. "This little sister is so pretty!" She reached out and pinched Lin Chen's cheek, making Lin Chen both annoyed and amused.

What surprised Lin Chen even more was that Mei'er had a unique temperament that made even a woman like her feel a sense of goodwill.

"Mei'er is a special spirit, possessing an innate alluring aura," Luo Cheng explained.

"I see," Lin Chen said, suddenly understanding.

"This is my Daoist partner, Lin Chen," Luo Cheng introduced.

"Oh, Brother Luo Cheng already has a Daoist partner?" Mei'er winked mischievously.

After exchanging a few jokes, everyone got back to their busy work. Last time, Luo Cheng and Li Qiang had a rushed trip to the Ancient God's Treasury, but this time they had plenty of time, so they allowed the spirits of the Spirit Realm to collect as many treasures as possible.

More than half a month later, Mei'er told the spirits to go back first, while she stayed by Li Qiang's side.

Luo Cheng first sent Qian Shanyong, Dai Nanfeng, and the others back to the original realm. Then, using the power of origin, he carefully divided the treasure star and transferred all the collected treasures to the original realm. After the treasures were cleared away, three stones exuding an ancient aura appeared before him.

"There are three!" Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised. For a precious star to produce three ancient cultivation divine stones was an extremely rare occurrence, enough to create three sacred cultivation grounds.

He was able to successfully collect the ancient cultivation divine stone by borrowing the power of the source—something that even immortals couldn't do.

"Senior brother, where is the ancient cultivation stone?" Li Qiang asked.

Luo Cheng took out three ancient cultivation stones, which emanated a mysterious aura, and the surrounding spiritual energy became denser.

"I was lucky this time, I got three pieces," Luo Cheng said. "I plan to put one on Holy Star, one on New Star, and one on Tianyuan Star."

"I'll listen to my senior brother," Li Qiang said without objection.

"However, placing the divine stone requires some divine artifacts to set up the formation," Luo Cheng added.

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked—they hadn't expected Luo Cheng to set up a divine array!
